Location
Set south of Norwich, Recreation Road enjoys a highly desirable position within the much-admired Golden Triangle, and this apartment is located just across the road from Earlham Shopping Centre, which offers a great range of amenities, including a supermarket, cafés, and local shops.

This area strikes a superb balance between city living and neighbourhood charm, combining the energy of the city centre with a warm and welcoming residential atmosphere. Residents benefit from excellent green spaces nearby, with Heigham Park just around the corner, offering mature lawns, tennis courts, and peaceful walkways, ideal for leisurely strolls. A little further afield is the enchanting Plantation Garden, a beautifully restored Victorian garden featuring terraces, woodland paths, and intricate architectural details, providing the perfect setting for relaxation and inspiration.

For day-to-day living, the area is well served by a variety of independent cafés, pubs, and shops, particularly along Unthank Road, creating a village-like feel within the city. Excellent transport links are another major advantage, with regular bus services providing quick access to the city centre and connections to destinations further afield, including Cambridge and London.

Families will appreciate the proximity to highly regarded schools, while students and professionals benefit from being close to both the University of East Anglia and the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital. The area also enjoys a strong sense of community, with regular local events, neighbourhood initiatives, and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.
